Kamen Rider: I, Conan, am Faiz

Chapter 76: Trip to Osaka

"Haibara Ai? This name is quite unique. Nice to meet you, Ai." Although Xiaolan felt that the name Ai was a bit strange, the kind-hearted Xiaolan still extended her hand in a friendly manner.

Looking at the white jade hand in front of her, Xiaoai's expression flashed with deep complexity for a moment, but in the end she slowly stretched out her hand and held Xiaolan's hand.

Seeing Xiao Ai's actions, Xiao Lan's smile suddenly became brighter: "By the way, Xiao Ai, are you and Conan both studying at Teitan Elementary School?"

"Yes, I just transferred here today and am in the same class as Edogawa."

"Hey! That's great. I'll trouble you to take good care of Conan when he goes to school."

I don’t know why, even though it was the first time they met, Xiaolan and Xiaoai were able to talk to each other and even reach a consensus on some issues.

But when she saw Xiaolan and Xiaoai chatting enthusiastically, Sonoko felt a little unhappy. After all, according to her original idea, she hoped that Xiaolan would educate Xiaoai from the perspective of an elder, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this!

[Damn it! Xiaolan, you are so disappointing! I have to rely on myself at the critical moment! ]

Sonoko rarely used her brain, then squatted down and placed her hands on Conan's shoulders with a smile on her face. "Little brat, to celebrate my good grades, how about I take you abroad to play? I will book the Louvre for a month, and then you can go shopping to your heart's content~"

Seeing Sonoko's relaxed expression, Conan couldn't help but twitch his mouth: [Haha, Miss, is your family rich? How can you say such a thing? ]

While complaining in his heart, Conan quickly pretended to be an innocent child and smiled: "No, Sonoko-sister, Heiji asked me, Xiaolan-sister and uncle to go to Osaka together tomorrow, so we can't go abroad to play~"

"Oh right! I almost forgot about this! He Ye sent me a message this morning to arrange a time."

When Xiaolan, who was chatting with Xiaoai, heard this, she suddenly reacted with a start. Just when she was about to take out her cell phone to contact He Ye, Xiaoai suddenly spoke.

"Can you take me with you? I've always wanted to visit Osaka."

"This……"

"Woo..."

Just when Xiaolan was feeling a little embarrassed, Xiaoai's face suddenly changed to one that showed a pitiful expression, as if she was about to burst into tears the next moment.

Xiaolan panicked when she saw this, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't cry, Xiaoai, can't I take you there? I'll tell Heye right away."

"Since this kid can go, then you can take me along too! I can pay for it myself!"

Just as Xiaolan was comforting Ai, Sonoko suddenly raised her hand and expressed her desire to join the journey.

[Hey, hey! Sonoko, what the hell is wrong with you? ]

Looking at Sonoko who raised her hand seriously, Conan's expression was extremely helpless and tired.

Day 2 Osaka

"I'm sorry, Heye, I suddenly changed my mind and added so many friends. It caused trouble for you and Heiji."

Facing Xiaolan's apology, He Ye quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. It's better to have more people. It will be more lively, right~"

While the two girls were talking to each other, Kogoro growled through clenched teeth: "It's lively, but could you please explain why they sent a police patrol car to pick us up! It's like we're criminals!"

Seeing that Kogoro was about to go berserk, Hattori Heiji, who was in the passenger seat, smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry about such a small matter, uncle. This is the latest model of patrol tank, the kind that bullets can't penetrate. My dad said that in order to let you feel the enthusiasm of us Osaka people, he launched this tank. Don't you agree, Officer Sakata?"

Hearing this, Officer Sakata, who was driving, smiled and nodded slightly: "Yes, this is what Chief Hattori specifically instructed, and even Brother Heiji takes it so seriously, so Detective Mori, take this opportunity to appreciate the scenery of our Osaka~"

"Really, it reminds me of the past..."

Looking carefully at the interior of the patrol car, Kogoro couldn't help but feel nostalgic. Once upon a time, he was also an elite who went on missions in a police car, but now...

With the police car leading the way, almost no private car dared to block the way, and soon the few people arrived at a ramen restaurant with a very old-fashioned flavor.

Old Jack's authentic traditional ramen shop!

Officer Sakata greeted them warmly, "This is our long-established Osaka ramen. Come and have a taste of how it tastes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Officer Sakata held the bowl and started enjoying the ramen.

"Oh! This taste is so addictive!" Kogoro wiped his saliva, sat down impatiently, ordered a big bowl of ramen and started eating.

And it wasn't just Kogoro, even Sonoko, who grew up in luxury, was full of praise, and then she started to enjoy the ramen without any sign of a rich lady. "Hmm! This tastes even better than a whole roasted wagyu beef, you're welcome!"

Compared to these two gods who were reincarnated from starving ghosts, the way Xiaolan, Xiaoai, and Heye eat appears much more elegant, even giving people a pleasing feeling.

While everyone was enjoying the delicious food, Conan cautiously came to Hattori Heiji and gestured. "Hattori, did you bring the things?"

"It's all here, but it's just a copy. The original is in my dad's hands."

After making sure that no one was paying attention here, Hattori Heiji took out several photos from the inside pocket of his shirt and handed them to Conan. On the photos were the bodies of a man and a woman with a dagger pierced through the chest, as well as a series of items including wallets and identity documents.

Hattori Heiji introduced: "The two people who were killed were the supermarket manager Nagao Hideaki and the hotel owner Nishiguchi Tayo. At present, apart from the same modus operandi, no connection between the two has been found."

"Have you investigated your birthplace, the school you attended, and the place where you work?" Conan asked, staring at the photo in his hand.

"We have checked everything, but all we know so far is that the two deceased were born and raised in Osaka, but they were in different areas, so there is nothing to be gained."

Hattori Heiji held his chin with a rather unhappy expression on his face. "The Osaka police have not released the details of the method of committing the crime, and Mrs. Nishiguchi was killed using the same method, which means that the murderer must be the same person."

Conan's eyes sharpened. "According to criminal psychology, it is absolutely impossible for a serial killer to stop after killing two people. Maybe there are new victims now, but the police have not found them yet."

Thinking of this, Conan and Hattori Heiji fell silent for a moment, and then looked at each other tacitly, with deep fear in each other's eyes.

A serial killer is hiding in the dense crowd. No one knows when he will raise his knife again. He is like a dangerous time bomb that may blow up the defenseless innocent people in the next second.

Ai, who was enjoying ramen, also noticed the strangeness of the two detectives at this time, but she just watched for a while and then continued to enjoy the delicious food.

[No wonder he trusted this black-skinned guy so much. It turns out they are two completely identical guys.]

More than forty minutes later, the group, having eaten and drunk their fill, finally walked out of the ramen restaurant contentedly.

"Burp! What a rare delicacy. This trip is worth it~" Kogoro patted his obviously rounder belly with satisfaction, and then planned to get on the bus to check in at the next attraction.

"bump!"

Just as Kogoro touched the car door, something suddenly fell from the sky onto the roof of the police car!

"what!"

"Throwing objects from high places?"

"This is!"

Everyone present looked carefully and were instantly shocked!

What I saw on the roof was not garbage or debris thrown from a high altitude, but a real male corpse!
